Tip #1
Adding a percentile(%) to the format command may seem like an impossible task. This little trick of appending a string of "%" to the format command makes it possible!
This will not display the percentile.
format["You have %1% ammo remaining", _mypercentage];
This will display the percentile.
format["You have %1%2 ammo remaining", _mypercentage, "%"];
As you can see here, the % within the quotes is an actual string, and the %2 sucks in the string and appends it.
Tip #2
Make all the units of a group sit down.
{
doStop _x;
sleep 0.5;
_x action ["SitDown", _x];
} forEach units MyGroupName;
Tip #3
If you want turn off the default conversation with NPCs...
unit setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true]
The unit could be the player in most cases.
